ISSUE-113: How do we represent HTTP POST?
http://www.w3.org/2005/06/tracker/webapi/issues/113
Raised by: Charles Mccathienevile
On product: Progress Event
POST can upload a pile of stuff, and then download a body. So there
are
two parts of the transaction whose progress would be useful to track.
Further, these are in principle synchronous, and you don't know
anything at all about the second part until you have finished the
first
one.
The upload part would be represented via events on xhr.upload, if we
go with the recent proposal. The download would be events on the
XMLHttpRequest object itself.
Are there other problems of this nature? Is the best solution to make
this the problem of XHR and similar specs that allow this
situation, or
to provide something in the progress spec?
I think we decided to leave this to other specs to solve - any object
that does both upload and download should provide separate event
targets.
